Think he's being reassigned to the Pentagon, right? He and his brother are still in the Army, they just don't work at the WH anymore.
Yep, he's reassigned somewhere not at the WH, In all the testimony pictures Vindman's shoulder boards were a dark color - apparently denoting whatever branch he was assigned to while working in the WH - blue uniforms weren't in vogue when I was in the Army, so that's a guess.
His shoulder boards today were infantry blue in tune with the crossed rifles on his label and infantry blue between the gold cuff stripes and on his hat. The picture below is not great, but the color change was obvious on TV. Unless he happened to have some spare infantry shoulder boards at work and was given time to put time on, this was a staged thing ... he knew before he put his uniform on this morning he was reassigned. The escort out was for show - the press were warned and waiting. The amazing part is that people see this as a vindictive act by Trump when they themselves would not tolerate a staffer who didn't support them. Generally you either work as a team or you fail, and few people accept failure as the norm. Maybe Vindman will be a team player wherever he winds up next because the Army generally takes a very dim view of dissenters.
